Janet Dunn, who has just been appointed general manager of the Westwood Plant, has been given instructions to get things under control. Upon reviewing the plants income statement, Ms. Dunn concluded the major problem lies in the variable cost of goods sold. She has been provided with the following standard cost per swimming pool:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 3.3 pounds $ 2.80 per pound $ 9.24
Direct labor 0.8 hours $ 7.40 per hour 5.92
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.6 hours* $ 2.90 per hour 1.74
Total standard cost per unit $ 16.90
*Based on machine-hours.
During June, the plant produced 5,000 pools and incurred the following costs:1c. Compute the following variances for June, variable overhead rate and efficiency variances.
Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U"
for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.
